Cardiovascular disease It is the leading cause of death among women of all ages. However, aside from chest pain, the signs of a heart problem remain unknown.

Causes of cardiovascular disease
The increase in women being hospitalized for heart attacks is a matter of concern. The reason is that women are now more exposed to risk factors, such as: “smoking, combining contraceptives that contain estrogen and progesterone, decreased physical activity and a sedentary lifestyle, as well as an increased prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes,” according to the lists of the French Ministry of Health, on its page dedicated toCardiovascular disease. In addition, women are generally less monitored and underdiagnosed. Hence the importance of being aware of warning signs, especially in women, as they are less specific to them.
